I totally agree that practice makes perfect, I think the most important thing is we need to keep writing and event we got the harsh feedback sometimes, however we shouldn’t be too upset, it is hurts, but we shouldn’t take it too emotional isn’t. Keep reading, Keep writing, and happy to receive any feedback.

Hi Scott, after a while, I finally decide to start improving my writing skills, I have been working with people in the branch so very successful with people but not in my writing communications. I think that this is the time I I want to continue my carrier path. I appreciate your comments and I will start reading your Blog to get more of it. I will like as well I you can suggest me some books to use as a reference.
Now Talking about your blog I have the feeling of seen a move the writing style was very strait forward, and I think very descriptive, not as much as Dostoevsky but very close to it
Regards,
Gabriel

Ditto on Tracy’s comment. Also, I have been journal writing for decades. I have written on college paper, in personal journals, on scrap paper, and on the computer. However, I have posted nothing nor have I let others read what I write. As I proof my own writing I find it unfocused, wordy, and with a lot of digressions. My writing is a reflection of my thought process. As such, it is not very good writing. More importantly, it “hurts” to write sometimes. Therefore, my hope is to learn how to both improve my writing style and enjoy the process more. The above blog inspires me and it was a joy to read. I especially liked Capote’s quote. I always thought that good writing was like good music. That is, you feel it. Reading the comments have been an inspiration as well. I found this blog on a Google search. I hope I find more like it. Thanks for taking the time to share.

thanks alot for this valuable instructions of how to get a lovely style of writing. but sometimes the feedback recieved might be harsh and hurt for it can seriously and early abort the attempt of making a progress as an intermediate writer. however, if it is neccessary i wish it may be less embarrased in a way that provides him with the courage not prevents his talence from being flourished.
